Abstract excerpt
The organization of the ribosomal genes is unique in Borrelia burgdorferi in that the rrl (23S) and rrf (5S) genes are tandemly duplicated. We took advantage of this uniqueness to assess the restriction polymorphism of PCR products obtained with primers at the 3' end of the first rrf gene and at...
